| - If it's yummy Mexican food you are in the mood for - this ain't your place. But if you want a cool spot to drink and enjoy small-ish plates with, then I recommend Bakersfield. Let me break this down:
Parking - I was meeting some friends there and because I read on Yelp that parking was crazy, I got there a little bit early. I easily found a spot on the street (as did one of my friends). However, another one of my friends had a harder time finding parking. I think management is going to have to figure something out with parking (especially since valet is only after 6 pm) in order to make it manageable for people to come here. I would give parking 2 stars.
Drinks - I had the sangria and really liked it. It was fruity and sweet. One of my friends had the margarita and liked it. I would give drinks 5 stars.
Queso - we had the queso with chorizo, black beans, and jalapenos. It was awesome! My one friend commented that the chorizo made it kind of salty, but I didn't eat much with chorizo so I don't know. The chips were delicious, although I wish that chips and salsa were complimentary (but, again, this is NOT a normal Mexican restaurant). I give appetizer a 4.
Tostadas- I had the tostada that had potatoes on it. I can't think of much good to say. There was a massive clump of chunky guacamole. I like guac but that didn't save this dish. It was super dry and I would not recommend it. The waitress offered to get me something else, which I declined (although she still charged me for it, eventhough I didn't really eat it). I give the tostada a 1 star.
Short Rib Taco - this was delicious! I am not normally a fan of radishes but I left the sliver of radish on there and it was tasty. The tacos come on corn tortillas (which I like), so don't expect the soft texture of a flour tortilla. The only think that would have made this taco even better would have been some sort of sauce to pour on it. I give this taco 4 stars.
Overall, I like this spot. Is it my favorite place in Dilworth? No. Will I go again? Absolutely.
